DREAM

Darkness was standing, like a ghost watching an older looking Guardian talking to another South Asian girl, this girl was very pretty with a blue dress and long black hair.

The girl said, "Baby, why did you leave?"

"I-I lost her Jehan, I lost her," he said to her nervously, standing there stiff as a satue. "So this is Jehan," thought Darkness.

"I am so sorry about that, but why are you here then? What do you have to tell me?" Jehan asked Guardian, with little sympathy in her voice.

"I don't know why I am here, I guess I am here for Maryam, but to be honest with you I am here because I find it hard to breath these days," Guardian told the girl as he showed her his watering eyes.

Jehan walked up to Guardian and took him into a hug and whispered, "Let me let you break free."

"I wish I could, but I have been hurt so much, I have lost so much," Guardian told her through his tears. Darkness had never seen Guardian so broken, she had tried to reach out, to talk, but she was like a ghost, unseen, unheard.

"Then why did you run? Were you just looking after number one?" she asked him as she brought his face up to look in her green eyes.

"No, it wasn't about me, I was trying to make the world better, I tried to be a hero," Guardian said, pleading for more sympathy from the young woman.

"Then why did you phone me first, was their something you were afraid to show? Is there anyone else you would rather phone?" Jehan whispered to Guardian.

"Why do you do this to me? Why don't you show me some sympathy!" pleaded Guardian like a child, he needed her right now and he wasn't getting her. That's what Darkness was looking at.

Guardian brought himself to her and tried to kiss her but she pushed him back and smiled, "I am not an American, so why don't you wait till after we get married," she told him with a playful smirk.

"You want to marry me?" Guardian said, as if shocked someone would accept him.

"Of course, I want to give you what she could never give you," Jehan said as she embraced Guardian in a hug.

Darkness turned away in shame as she woke up unsure if what she had was a dream or a vision of the future.

JUMP CITY

"Guardian, I gave myself away," Anna began when she sat down, the room was empty save for Guardian and Anna. Anna was very weak looking and spoke very weakly.

"What?" Guardian asked, not understanding what she was saying.

"I could have just knocked off that evening, but I was feeling very lonely," she said.

"Is this about that night, you and Kili?" Guardian cautiously asked.

She just nodded, "Strangely, I felt he was leaving me that night, and I was sure I wouldn't find him at home," she said.

"He let you down didn't he?" Guardian asked.

"He loomed me on his bone, he loomed me on his bone!" she cried out.

"Calm down," Guardian said to the hysterical girl.

"Shit, there is no need deceiving, neither of us wanted to be alone," Anna said in much bitterness.

"Anna, you are scaring me, please, just tell me what happened a few nights ago," Guardian said, uncomfortable with the conversation Anna was trying to start.

"It is my fault, I should have told him," Anna said after a few moments to gather her thoughts.

"About the miscarriage? Is that what made him explode?" Guardian asked.

"Yes, he found out and I tried to cover it, but he couldn't take it anymore, so then, so then he grabbed my throat and rammed me into the wall. Guardian he broke me! He broke me down!" she screamed enraged. She then brought her hands to her face and began crying.

"Thank you," Guardian said quietly as he pushed the button for Agent Lowell to come in. Guardian had no idea on how to handle the devestated girl.

Lowell returned and with a female agentescorted Anna outside before returning.

"I am sure you got your motive," stated Guardian as he stared at Lowell with cold eyes, eyes which had now glow to them.

"Yeah, a miscarriage caused him to snap," Lowell said quietly, not wanting to show his excitement. "Finally, a superhero prosecuted, it's about time they see they are not immortal or untouchable," he thought.

"She doesn't seem to be mentally fit either, you should have her see a shrink," Guardian said as he got up to leave.

"Alright, do you want us to give you a ride to the Tower?" Lowell asked, he knew better than to keep Guardian for more questioning, it would just anger him. He had already done what he was asked for.

"No, I can get back myself," Guardian said as he left.

"Thank you Guardian," Lowell said.

Guardian paused for a second, didn't say anything and just left.

TITANS TOWER
NOLA'S ROOM


She had begun kissing him on the lips, she then moved to his neck, and was now going down his chest when Kid Flash gasped, "Don't hold yourself like that, you will hurt your knees," he said to her.

Nola stood up, "You want this don't you," she said as she continued kissing him, enticing him, seducing him.

Kid Flash brought her face to his and kissed her mouth, then he kissed the back of her neck, causing a sensation Nola had never felt before. He stopped and said, "I kissed your mouth and your back, Nola, that's all I need," he told her. "You are still too young," he finally said to her, but he began a new flurry of kisses. Not caring, he now wanted her.

Nola frowned and finally was the one who pushed back, "Sorry Kid Flash, but what I am to you is not real, what I am to you, you don't need, and what you think I am to you is not what you mean to me," Nola told Kid Flash.

"Then what the hell was the kissing for? What the hell was taking me to your room? Why the hell did you read that part of the journal to seduce me? Why did you act like you wanted me then you stop and tell me you don't?" Kid Flash said angrily.

"I am sorry, but I couldn't go through with it. My plan was to sleep with you, make you stay with me because I planned on making you feel guilty, but I can't do it," she said.

"Why? Why would you want to do that?" Kid Flash asked.

"I need help, I need an ally," she said quietly as she began fixing her hair.

"Damn it I am getting angry now, why do you need an ally and why would you go to such extremes?" he asked her in anger. "Shit, why does she play with my heart like this, almost like how my dad messed with Jinx, my mom," he still wasn't used to referring to Jinx as his mom.

Nola just stared at him blankly, not knowing how to quite slip what she wanted from him.

"Seriously Nola, talk to me, this isn't how you usually are? I mean I read you trained with some of the most honorable warriors in Japan, why would you try to deceive me?" asked Kid Flash. Pushing on any advantage he could get, trying to force Nola into a corner.

"I used to be an honorable warrior, a hero, but this damn city, this damn team changed me," Nola said quietly as she went to a small fridge in the corner of her room. She opened it and pulled out a bottle of whisky and two shot glasses.

Kid Flash reacted strangely when he was handed the glass and it was half filled by the female Titan.

"I know what your thinking, alcohol, how the hell did she get this in the Tower and why does she use it? To answer your first question, Robin is very gullible and he thinks its root-beer, for the second question I only recently began drinking. I began drinking after I betrayed all the values all the teaching I received my entire life," she said sadly.

"What do you mean?" Kid Flash asked, he watched her take a sip before cautiously bringing the strong drink to his mouth. It was very strong and burned his throat.

"I made a deal with Boss Lewis," she said.

Kid Flash's reaction was that of shock, "You are the traitor?" he asked her.

"I didn't mean for her to die, I just wanted her out of the picture so I could get on the team, but I never wanted her to die," Nola explained, "The guilt overwhelmed me," she added, lifting her drink to show to what extremes she went.

"I am sorry Nola but I have to tell Robin," Kid Flash said as he put the glass down and headed to the door.

"I am afraid if you do then all the Titans will get a personal copy of your journal, and all your secrets will be revealed," she shot back without a pause.

Kid Flash shot her a dirty look, "So now you're blackmailing me?" he asked.

"Yeah, but you have blackmail on me too, this was my backup plan," she said.

"Oh yeah, almost forgot, your first plan was to sleep with me and then black mail me on that," he said, he quietly added under his breath, "Would have preferred that."

"What did you say?" she asked, she hadn't heard him, but was curious.

"Nothing, nothing, but it seems we are at a stalemate," observed Kid Flash.

"You see I need you and you need me," she began, "I need to get my conscious cleared, I need to make things right," she said.

"How? You can't change the fact she is dead," Kid Flash told her coldly.

"I know that damn it! I know that every time I look at my face, I know how much I have done believe me and it is killing me," she said as she gulped down her drink and poured herself another cup.

"Then how do you plan on fixing things?" Kid Flash questioned.

"I am going to bring down Boss Lewis for what he did, I will find out exactly who did that barbaric murder and allow the Titans to capture them and punish them. I will kill Lewis, I will destroy his operations and do justice for Freeze but all I need is your help," she said.

"My help?" Kid Flash said in a little surprise, he was kind of flattered that he was picked but then it reached him, "Of course you, you're the only one she has blackmail on," he thought.

"Yes, after you and me take him down for good, we will let the dead be dead and the living be living. Then we will also capture your mother," she added.

"So, I help you and you promise to help me catch my mom and figure things out for good?" Kid Flash asked, now the deal was very inviting.

"Yes, I know you want to capture her so she can't mess with you, so you can get the truth, and all you have to do to get that is help me kill the Boss," she said sweetly.

"What if the boss tells?" Kid Flash stated.

"We are going to kill him and destroy his operation tonight," she said.

"Partners?" Kid Flash said lifting his glass awkwardly.

"Partners till the bitter end," replied Nola as she took a sip, Kid Flash chugged the drink down and poured himself another cup.

JUMP CITY

"Wait Guardian!" yelled Agent Lowell.

"Yeah?" Guardian responded weakly, tired of hearing of this depressing case.

"Kili wants to talk to you, once you're done with him then I swear you can go back with no problems.

"Alright," Guardian said reluctantly as he turned around and headed back to the interrogation room.

WORKOUT GYM

TITANS TOWER

Aries took a towel to wipe off the sweat she had broken after several hours of intense exercising. As she left the gym she noticed Avengement at the table cleaning his gun. She walked next to him and stared at the gun in strange fascination.

"What's the matter? Never seen a gun before," Avengement said gruffly as he cocked the gun.

"Actually, no, I was raised in Atlantis, and my father, after his years on the surface banned all guns. So I never really was around guns in the palace," Aries explained.

"Palace?" asked Avengement out of curiosity.

"Yeah, I am the daughter of the king of Atlantis," she answered, she didn't feel comfortable talking about her wealth and prestige, she wanted to make it on her own.

"So, you are a princess?" Avengement asked with a little smirk. The dark haired girl was wearing her blue and black uniform, mirrored after her father's Aqualad outfit. The girl and very long, silky hair, and was a beautiful girl

"Uh, yeah, I am," she answered.

"Well, I should have guessed, you look the part," Avengement said as he went back to cleaning his gun.

Aries blushed a little from the comment, "Wow, the cruel, heartless, gunslinger just flirted with me and I blushed. That is really messed up," she thought as she left the gym.

INTEROGATION ROOM
FBI HEADQUARTERS
JUMP CITY

"What do you want Kili?" Guardian asked gruffly when he entered the room and the officers left the two of them alone.

"How bad is she? They told me she is mentally collapsing," Kili asked with much concern.

"She is doing very badly, especially after the miscarriage and now after what you did to her I don't know if she will ever be back to normal. She is too scared," Guardian added as he glared at Kili.

"There is a way to make things right," Kili told Guardian as he leaned forward.

"What the hell do you mean?" Guardian asked.

"The machine, we can use the machine and save her, make things right," Kili said to Guardian.

"How will that machine make things better or save her?" Guardian asked skeptically.

"The girl I fell in love with disappeared after the miscarriage and after my outburst I am sure she is gone for good, but if we use the machine, erase her memories of that night and erase the memories of the miscarriage, then she will be back to normal," Kili said excitedly.

"It's wrong," Guardian replied hesitantly.

"No, what's wrong is watching her life fall apart when we could have made things better, could have fixed what happened to her," Kili said.

"But she wouldn't remember, wouldn't know about the miscarriage," Guardian said.

"That's bad why? That memory is tearing her apart, breaking her, and that event also made me snap, if that is gone we can start over," Kili declared.

"He does have a point; we could use the machine and return Kili and Anna's life back to normal. But it is still morally wrong; however, do the morals even matter? Would I even live with myself if she goes to an institute, if she commits suicide?" Guardian thought, caught in a tough situation.

"Well? Come on we have to save her," Kili said, pressuring Guardian.

"I have to talk to Robin first, but I am not supporting you, I will just tell him what your proposal is and he will decide if we should use the machine," Guardian said as he stood up.

"But do you agree with me?" Kili asked.

"I-I honestly don't know," Guardian replied, then he left the room and went to the Tower.

TITANS TOWER
NOLA'S ROOM

Nola pulled out two black ninja outfits, they were completely black, had the mask and the black boots, however the material was made of the same one the Titans used in battle.

"So, are we going in as ninjas?" Kid Flash asked as he picked up the uniform Nola put in front of her.

"Yeah, unless there is an issue with that?" Nola said as she began taking off her shirt.

"Whoa, shouldn't I leave before you start changing?" Kid Flash asked as he used his hands to cover his eyes the minute he saw her hands beginning to pull the long-sleeved Titan uniform off.

Nola chuckled, "Don't be scared, I am wearing a flame proof body suit underneath, nothing to see," she said as Kid Flash opened his eyes and he too began changing.

When Nola put on her shirt she was surprised to see a shirtless Kid Flash, he wasn't wearing an undershirt and this made Nola blush.

"What's the matter, never seen a shirtless man before?" asked the hero as he began taking off his pants.

"I will just change in the bathroom," Nola said quickly as she left the room to the bathroom. Kid Flash smiled a little.

When they were both changed, Nola put her mask on and her Kid Flash was shocked by her eyes. Her Asian eyes and face could just barely be seen in the mask but it was very inviting.

"Quit staring, we have work to do," Nola said knocking Kid Flash out of his fantasy.

"Yeah?" Kid Flash asked sounding quite stupid.

"This is serious business, we have to deal with Boss Lewis tonight," Nola said.

"So what's the plan, raid his place get some info then go back tomorrow?" asked Kid Flash.

"No, we end it tonight, tonight we get the evidence, tonight we destroy Lewis's operations, tonight I will kill Lewis," Nola said as she pulled out two black pistols from her drawer.

"Two guns? I don't think I need one," stated Kid Flash as Nola handed him the gun.

"You can't use your powers unless you have to. However, you and I are trained in hand to hand combat, these suites are bulletproof, and the guns will be a last resort. Which is why there is only one clip in each gun, I only intend to use one bullet tonight," Nola declared as she cocked her gun and hid it in her suit.

Kid Flash silently followed her lead and then the two heroes stood up, "How do we sneak out of the Tower?"

"Easy, just run real fast to this address in the West Side," Nola said handing Kid Flash a piece of paper.

Kid Flash knew every location in Jump City, he had memorized the map, he was like a human Map-Quest. He nodded as he picked up Nola bridal style.

"Hey!" she protested.

"How am I supposed to get you there if I don't pick you up," Kid Flash calmly explained, "Ready?" he asked.

"Never been more ready for anything in my life before," she responded.

Kid Flash nodded, and in a flash they were off.

Aries spotted a black bullet fly through the Tower and out the door. She noticed it from Nola's room and she quickly called Avengement.

"Yeah?" he asked from his communicator.

"I think Nola and Kid Flash just left, both dressed in black," she said.

"So?" Avengement responded, not knowing what the big deal was.

"Maybe they are the traitors; why else would they be dressed in black and why else would they leave without telling anyone. Patrols are usually trios, seriously, Nola has been acting suspicious lately," Aries pointed out.

"I guess you have a point, I will grab Robin's bike, I am sure he wont mind, and then we can go hunt them down," Avengement said.

"Alright, let's go," Nola said.

DARKNESS'S ROOM

"Darkness, your marriage is void?" Nightfire asked her now crying friend. Nightfire had arrived just to talk but within five minutes Darkness began confessing what she had found out on her trip.

"Well, to Guardian's family yeah, but to everyone else it isn't void," Darkness said as she wiped her tears away.

"Black nail polish, new fashion," Nightfire pointed out.

Darkness glared at her, "I am having a crisis here and you are commenting on my nails," she said dryly.

"Sorry, but it usually helps me if I don't think about what's bothering me," Nightfire said.

"Oh come on, nothing ever big happens with you," snapped Darkness at what she viewed as a hypocritical comment by Nightfire.

"Right, nothing ever big happened to me, except for the fact my mother is an intergalactic terrorist and my father struggles to see me more than his own weakness," Nightfire said quietly.

"Sorry, you know I didn't mean it," Darkness said with sincerity.

"Don't worry about it, as long as you know you can trust me," Nightfire said.

"Don't worry, that's one thing I know I can do," declared Darkness.
